Bayani: Esteghlal gave the most money to players who were not at that level at all!

In an interview with the sports reporter of Fars news agency, Shahrukh Bayani said about the worrying situation of Esteghlal on the eve of the start of the 23rd League: It is not the first year that Esteghlal has these problems. Apart from the season in which it won the championship without losing, it has had these problems in all the years, it is neither government nor private, it was supposed to be private, which unfortunately did not happen.

Compare the number of managers and coaches of Persepolis in these few years with Esteghlal

He added: The money that the fans gave through shares was spent without expertise. They raised the contracts of the players and did not solve the problem of Esteghlal. All this is because I don’t know what to do. Unfortunately, managers came to this club who not only did not solve the problem, but on the contrary, they added to the problem! Anyone who worked well, like Stramaccioni or Schaefer, they caused problems for him.

Referring to the many management changes in this club, Esteghlal veteran stated: Count the number of managers and coaches of Persepolis in these few years, count the number of managers and coaches of Esteghlal as well. We thought Agjurello was doing well, but later we found out that money was spent excessively, a series of players were recruited with high contracts, which the manager did not even use. These issues hit independence. Even now that Nekonam has come, he surely already knew that these problems exist. He is not an inexperienced person and he knows this club. Khatir also knows his job in football. I hope that these two together can be the basis for the peace of independence.

Esteghlal’s debts are still ongoing and this procedure must be stopped at once

Bayani said: Once upon a time, everyone dreamed of playing in Esteghlal. If other teams gave 1000 tomans, Esteghlal gave 500 tomans and the player came with enthusiasm, but from Esteghlal he got everything, fame, national team, etc. Now Esteghlal gives the highest money to a player who is not worth that money at all! At the end of the season, all the clubs settled, but Esteghlal only gave 50% to the players, 200 billion is not a small amount. In addition, they have to pay the players to start the season. They should stop this procedure somewhere. The club still has debts. The club’s document is stuck and there are many other problems… Problems that could have been solved with even a third of these amounts, but mismanagement caused the debts to increase as the dollar rose, and in the end, the team that won the championship without losing could not go to Asia.

Speaking about the new chapter of Esteghlal, Bayani said: Work is hard for Esteghlal. The teams are all closed. If they want to get a player, the club should negotiate directly with the players and not with middlemen, there is also a good Iranian player, but we have to see how the coach will get games from him. In Iranian football, the level of players does not differ much. There are a few creative players who are more visible. For the new season, they must get a player who can reach the level of independence. This is not a weak team to put together a defense. Championship contending teams must hire creative players. Independence is independence, and even with these conditions, it is still a lion. It just has to be managed properly.
